I don't think it's wrong to say that this remake is a better version of Dead Space, but I also don't know if that's the right way to say it. It's maybe the best example yet of how a second attempt, backed by modern technology and shepherded by passionate creators, can improve on something great without overshadowing the original. I've always found video game remakes particularly fascinating compared to retreads and revivals in other mediums, and from this point forward I will point to Dead Space whenever people ask why. But the changes that the remake had the confidence to make have turned a classic of its time into an unquestionably timeless classic. I suspect many people would've been fine with a standard remaster just gussy it up and ship it out, making it easier to play on modern platforms. Besides updating the graphics and sound, Motive barely needed to change a thing for this remake. Luckily, I don't have to rely on memories anymore, because Motive's only gone and dropped a stonking great remake that proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Dead Space was at least 15 years ahead of its time.
